KingJ they dont have half-sizes I am guessing you are 43 use same size as CP the rubber soles are fine for rain or light snow but not really great on ice. i have them in a waxed reverse leather and the sole isn't rubber, but another pair has rubber...hmm. Fine with denim too but if you can get them on discount that would be better

Hmm. Yeah I don't so much care about not slipping as about my shoes not getting fucked up. I was going to pick them up during the Barney's sale... you seem to think I could do better for the money?

for 400+ yes but they often go down to 200 range which is not bad

Canada Goose Chilliwack

kinda need a more serious winter coat. I know Canadians will say these are too common, but I don't live in Canada and have never seen anyone wearing one IRL

Also, anything else similar to consider? There are a few parajumpers and Moncler jackets I like also, but unfortunately those are at least 2x the price

Pretty sure I tried that one on in person, TTS (and a little roomy at that). Quality felt really good in person, pretty sure it's harris tweed (but I tried the brown one, so IDK for sure)


i tried it on at a barney's co-op....put on a medium and it was warm and snug....next paycheck i'm gonna pull the trigger

blah if this doesn't sell by thursday sooo tempted to purchase. It has detachable sleeves with hidden zippers, and it's not leather; it's from a black denim I think, which is a nice touch since if it was leather it would be probably unwearable throughout the entire year since it's already hot where I live.

Someone tell me why it's bad or please purchase this to put me out of my misery

Yep, picked mine up for $179 last season. Just wait until sale time, then call around to see if any Barney's have them left in your size.

Get the Yorkville and you'll have a detachable hood.

hmm i think like the dries derbies you posted better, not sure how well these would gel with the rest of your wardrobe from what I've seen...
